When I saw him a few months ago that this character and everything that I have not been transmitted out of the head. Yoshimoto Nara
these artists is captivating from the first second and you do not know much of his work to understand and empathize with him and communicating with her.
His work seems incredibly simple: the subject, giants, which fill the foreground with nothing but minimal, often seemingly vulnerable children, or pets that might be the best friends of any tender and innocent human being 7 years. And everything would be perfect, but NO. Children are somewhat disturbed, sinister, with accusatory look far and deep disappointment and helplessness at the same time creates a certain tenderness.
pastel colors, with their huge heads, their eyes of Japanese comics (manga influence), or cigars tend to have weapons in their hands and they look pretty angry, because although they look innocent and angelic, sinister or hidden messages rebellion.
Nara is a cult artist, popular as few, say those who know that this is one of the most influential artists of the Neo Pop, Pop Movement glamorous pop the years 90.
Nara was born in 1959 in Hirosaki and is renowned for his portraits of children and animals who are protesting the war, loneliness and abandonment on the other hand love music and art.
these issues based on his work and like many of his generation took refuge after his aesthetic to show their disagreement and particular perspective on society.
With influences from manga, American cartoons, graffiti and punk art combines the innocence and human malice in many products that fall within the post-war Japan.
And that is the way to Nara in the world put their manifesto against the war, loneliness, abandonment, and then again his love for rock music and art. And, as this is first and foremost a pop artist, his work is not limited to paintings, which are often sizeable, among his works are books, dolls, drawings, limited edition watches and a clothing line with patterned paintings. Two giants without facilities in one of the main avenues of New York.
A real hit with lots and lots of personality.
